Fourth Sunday of Lent
St. Joseph Catholic Church, 7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois
The Prodical Son by Jacob Jordaens
“In the Parable of the Prodigal Son our Lord
emphasizes God the Father’s great love and mercy, but also on the necessary human response to experience His mercy, namely, our repentance, which is turning
away from SELF and to God.”
Hoy celebramos el cuarto domingo de Cuaresma. En el Evangelio de hoy, saltamos algunos capítulos. La semana pasada, escuchamos sobre la parábola de la higuera estéril en Lucas 13. Esta semana, avanzamos hacia Lucas 15 y escuchamos una de las parábolas más famosas de nuestro Señor: la parábola del hijo pródigo. Lucas 15 consta de tres parábolas de "objetos perdidos": la parábola de la oveja perdida, la parábola de la moneda perdida y la parábola del hijo pródigo (perdido). Note la secuencia numérica en las tres parábolas: una de cada cien ovejas se perdió, una de cada diez monedas se perdió y una de cada dos hijos se perdió. Mientras nuestro Señor habla estas parábolas, el valor del objeto perdido aumenta en importancia y valor. Un pastor menos preocupado habría dejado ir a la oveja perdida, pero "el buen pastor da su vida por la oveja". De manera
similar, una mujer más descuidada no se habría molestado tanto en encontrar una moneda perdida cuando aún tenía nueve, pero el Señor "vino a buscar y salvar lo que estaba perdido". Ningún padre humano podría verse afectado por la pérdida de la mitad de sus hijos. ¿Cuánto más afecta a Dios el Padre la pérdida de usted y de mí, su hijo o hija? Cada una de las tres parábolas ilustra la abundante misericordia de Dios hacia los pecadores arrepentidos y su gran alegría cuando se reconcilian con él.
Las tres parábolas que se encuentran en Lucas 15 también nos enseñan otra lección importante para reflexionar. Las tres parábolas perdidas muestran tres formas en que las personas tienden a alejarse de Dios. La primera forma de alejarse de Dios es vagando: nos alejamos de Dios vagando de Él como una oveja descarriada. La segunda forma de alejarse de Dios es cayendo: así como una moneda cae al suelo, también caemos en la tentación y caemos en nuestras pasiones. La tercera forma de alejarse de Dios es mediante la rebelión voluntaria: la rebelión voluntaria del hijo menor conduce a su condición miserable y la miseria del pecado.
En la parábola del hijo pródigo, escuchamos que el hijo menor le dice a su padre: "Dame la parte de tu patrimonio". "Dame". ¿No te suena familiar? Vivimos en una generación de "dame" hoy. Sólo nos preocupamos por nuestro SER. Solo mira lo que llamamos nuestros celulares. Son iPhones. Observe la "i". Todo gira alrededor de la "I" o AUTO. El joven en la parábola de nuestro Señor se consume con el YO. No hay nada por lo que valga la pena vivir más que tu SER. Conduce al deambular, a los desperdicios, a la voluntad, a la vida salvaje y al dolor que vemos en la vida del hijo pródigo.
La pintura que vemos es la de Jacob Jordaens, El hijo pródigo. En esta pintura, Jordaens retrata vívidamente la condición abatida y miserable del hijo menor que vive con los cerdos. Los judíos consideraban a los cerdos como inmundos, y eran vistos como un lugar apropiado para que los demonios residieran una vez que habían sido expulsados de los humanos. Los cerdos solo se preocupan por sí mismos, y no les importa si están sucios. Los cerdos sucios personifican el aspecto de una vida egoísta y pecaminosa. Los cerdos asquerosos ilustran al hijo menor la condición de su alma y su estado deplorable en relación con su padre.
Sin embargo, hay esperanza incluso en este lugar abatido y miserable. Vemos arroyos de gloriosa luz dorada que emergen de los cielos a la derecha. La luz gloriosa en los cielos simboliza la gracia de Dios, brillando sobre el pecador, llamándolo a que se aleje de la miseria del pecado y se dirija hacia Dios y la luz de su gracia. En la Parábola del Hijo Pródigo, nuestro Señor enfatiza el gran amor y la misericordia de Dios el Padre, pero también en la respuesta humana necesaria para experimentar Su misericordia, es decir, nuestro arrepentimiento, que se está alejando del SER y de Dios.
El 5 de abril, el obispo Wypych celebrará el Sacramento de la Confirmación en nuestra parroquia. Oremos por todos nuestros candidatos de nuestra escuela, de Educación Religiosa y de la Escuela Polaca Henryk Sienkiewicz que recibirán la Confirmación esta semana. El 9 de abril, tendremos confesiones de Cuaresma en inglés y español a las 7 pm. Las confesiones polacas serán el 13 de abril a las 7 pm. Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre del Bien, nos ayude con su cuidado materno y que San José ore por nosotros.
Informes del Padre Bob
W zeszłym tygodniu słuchaliśmy fragmentu 13. rozdziału Ewangelii według św. Łukasza i Przypowieści o nieurodzajnym drzewie figowym. Na dzisiejszą, IV Niedzielę Wielkiego Postu, przechodzimy do Łk 15 oraz jednej z najpopularniejszych Przypowieści Jezusa: o Synu Marnotrawnym. Na Łk 15 składają się trzy przypowieści, złączone wspólnym tematem rzeczy zagubionych i znalezionych. Są to: Przypowieść o zaginionej owcy, Przypowieść o zgubionej drachmie i Przypowieść o Synu Marnotrawnym. Zwróćcie uwagę na liczby w tych przypowieściach – zaginęła jedna ze stu owiec, zgubiono jedną z dziesięciu monet, zagubił się jeden z dwóch synów. W miarę słuchania kolejnych przypowieści,
stopniowo wzrasta wartość rzeczy zaginionej. Mniej troskliwy pasterz raczej zostawiłby zaginioną owcę jej własnemu losowi, ale „Dobry pasterz daje życie swoje za owce”. Podobnie w drugim przypadku, mniej dbająca o pieniądze kobieta nie przejęłaby się jedną zgubioną drachmą, kiedy zostało jej jeszcze dziewięć monet, ale „Syn Człowieczy przyszedł szukać i zbawić to, co zginęło”. Żaden ludzki ojciec nie pozostanie obojętny wobec zaginięcia jednego z dwóch synów. O ile bardziej dotknięty musi czuć się Bóg Ojciec, tracąc któregoś z nas, Swojego Syna lub Córkę? Wszystkie te trzy przypowieści doskonale pokazują bezgraniczne przebaczenie Boga, czekającego na nawróconych grzeszników, a także Jego wielką radość, gdy w końcu dochodzi do pojednania. W trzech przypowieściach z Łk 15 zawarta jest jeszcze jedna lekcja, którą musimy sobie przyswoić. Pokazano tam trzy sposoby, jak człowiek często ucieka od Boga. Po pierwsze: włóczęga. Oddalamy się od Niego, włócząc się niczym zagubiona owca. Po drugie: upadek. Podobnie jak moneta upadająca na ziemię, również i my często upadamy pod ciężarem różnych pokus i własnych namiętności. Trzeci sposób to dobrowolny bunt. Dobrowolny bunt młodszego syna skutkuje jego późniejszym, okropnym pogrążeniem w grzechu. W Przypowieści o Synu Marnotrawnym, młodszy syn mówi do ojca: „Daj mi część majątku...”. „Daj mi”. Współczesne czasy można by nazwać właśnie „pokoleniem daj mi”. Dbamy tylko o SIEBIE. Jak nazywamy nasze telefony komórkowe? iPhone (duża litera „i” znaczy po angielsku „ja”). Wszystko kręci się wokół mojego „ja”. Młodzieniec z przypowieści Mesjasza myśli wyłącznie o SOBIE. Nie ma nic bardziej bezwartościowego, czemu możesz poświęcić swoje życie, niż własne „ja”. Prowadzi to do duchowej włóczęgi, marności, uporu, hedonizmu i nieszczęścia – wszystko to przytrafiło się Synowi Marnotrawnemu. Widzicie obraz pędzla Jacoba Jordaensa, pod tytułem “Syn Marnotrawny”. Artysta doskonale ukazuje tutaj stan okropnej nędzy, do jakiej doprowadził się młodszy syn, mieszkając wśród świń. Żydzi uważali świnie za zwierzęta nieczyste. Demony wypędzone z ludzi zamieszkiwały potem w ciele świń. Świnie dbają tylko o siebie, wcale się nie przejmują tym, że są brudne. Brudne świnie stanowią metaforę grzesznego i egoistycznego życia. Ukazują one młodszemu synowi stan jego własnej duszy, jak tez jego relację z ojcem. Nadzieję jednak znaleźć można nawet w takim nędznym i z pozoru wydawałoby się, beznadziejnym miejscu. Jasny blask z niebios jest symbolem Łaski Bożej, danej grzesznikowi. Jest to dla niego wezwanie, aby odwrócił się od grzechu i podążył za Panem. W Przypowieści o Synu Marnotrawnym, Jezus zwraca uwagę nie tylko na wielkie miłosierdzie Boga, lecz także na warunek jego otrzymania przez człowieka – żal za grzechy i nawrócenie się od własnego „ja” w stronę Pana. 5 kwietnia będziemy gościć biskupa Wypycha, który w naszej parafii udzieli Sakramentu Bierzmowania. Pamiętajcie proszę w modlitwie o wszystkich tych, którzy w tym tygodniu przyjmą ten Sakrament – uczniach z naszej szkoły parafialnej, Programu katechetycznego, a także polskiej szkoły im. Henryka Sienkiewicza. Do wielkopostnej Spowiedzi Świętej będzie można przystąpić 9 kwietnia o 7:00 wieczorem, w języku angielskim i hiszpańskim. Spowiedzi w języku polskim zostaną wysłuchane 13 kwietnia, również o 7:00 wieczorem. Matko Nieustającej Pomocy, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za nami. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!

FR. BOB’S BRIEFS We are back where we started. Do you remember? Five weeks ago, we began reading through Jesus’
Bread of Life Discourse in the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John. At the beginning of John 6, we read, “Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick.” At that place and time, Jesus miraculously multiplied the five barley loaves and two fish to feed 5,000 people. For the past five weeks, we have heard how this large multitude of people has been constantly been hanging around Jesus. Now, this week, we hear how this vast crowd of people leaves Jesus and go away.
Many of Jesus' disciples who were listening said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?"Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this shock you? The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe." As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.” What a different scene it is today, compared to the scene from the previous four weeks. In the previous four weeks, we saw how thousands of people were all gathered around Jesus. Now, they all leave. Jesus is left by Himself by Sea of Galilee. We read in the Gospel of John today, “Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?" Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God." In the beautiful, but poignant image, we see Jesus left alone, except by the Twelve, His only remaining friends. Jesus stands in the center, looking out at the sunset over the Sea of Galilee. Only the Twelve remain with Jesus. So, we are back where we started: Jesus alone with the Twelve at the edge of the Seas of Galilee. It is a sad and somber scene as Jesus and the Twelve look out over the Sea of Galilee by themselves. Where did everybody go? This scene from today’s Gospel is not just a picture isolated to the past. Does this scene not replay throughout the passage of time? Does this scene not replay in our own time and age? Where are all the people? Next time you are at church, look around. What do you see? I saw no more than 70 people at any of the Masses for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary last week. The latest statistics show that 80-85% of Catholics do not go to Sunday Mass every week. Just like in today’s Gospel, everybody seems to have left Jesus. Only a few remain with our Lord. It is very ironic that people do not want communion with Jesus in this life, but they want communion with Jesus in heaven for eternal life. Explain to me how do people expect to have communion with God in heaven, if they do not have communion with God beginning here on earth? That’s the culmination and whole point of Jesus’ Bread of Life discourse that we have been hearing for the past five weeks. Jesus gives us His Flesh and Blood so that He can be in Communion with us. Our Lord desires to be one with, to be in union (com-munion) with you, me, and everybody. At Mass, you see the priest pour some water into the chalice filled with wine. When doing so, the priest prays: “By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity.” St. Cyprian (210-258 AD) writes, “when the water is mingled in the cup with wine, the people are made one with Christ.”
However, for most people, we don’t want communion with God. We only follow after God, like the people in the Gospel, because we want God to give us things. God is like a type of Santa Claus, who is supposed to give me things in life. I read once somewhere that “God is not a ‘Cosmic Concierge’ who lives only to satisfy each and every one of our whims.” Yet, that is how we treat God too often in our life. “God give me this. God give me that.” We seek out God to get things from Him. Our God seeks us out to be close to us, to be in communion with us. The Latin root of communion is communio, meaning "fellowship, mutual participation, or association." The relationship that that Jesus is seeking with us is different than the relationship that we seek from Him. Jesus wants fellowship with us. Our Lord desires to share His Divine life and love with us. He asks the same question that He asked the Twelve earlier. "Do you also want to leave?" Do we stay with Jesus or do we leave Him?
Please pray for the safety of all who serve us in the military. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Help, help us with her maternal care, and may St. Joseph pray for us. Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!
Today, we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Lent. In the Gospel today, we jump forward a few chapters. Last week, we heard about the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree in Luke 13. This week, we move forward to Luke 15, and we hear one of our Lord’s most famous parables: the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Luke 15 consists of three "lost-and-found" parables: the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the Parable of the Lost Coin, and the Parable of the Prodigal (Lost) Son. Note the numerical sequence in the three parables: one out of a hundred sheep was lost, one out of ten coins was lost, and one out of two sons
was lost. As our Lord is speaking these parables, the value of the lost object is increasing in their importance and worth. A less concerned shepherd would have let the lost sheep go, but "the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep." Similarly, a more careless woman would not have gone to so much trouble to find one lost coin when she still had nine, but the Lord "came to seek and to save that which was lost." No human father could be unaffected by the loss of half his sons. How much more is God the Father affected by the loss of you and me, His son or daughter? Each of the three parables illustrates God’s abundant mercy toward repentant sinners and His great joy when they are reconciled to Him.
The three parables found in Luke 15 also teach us another important lesson to reflect upon. The three lost parables show three ways people tend to get away from God. The first way to get away from God is by wandering: we get away from God by wandering from Him like a wayward sheep. The second way to get away from God is by falling: just as a coin falls to the ground, so too, we fall to temptation and fall to our passions. The third way to get away from God is by willful rebellion: the willful, rebellion of the younger son leads to his miserable condition and wretchedness of sin.
In the Parable of the Prodigal Son, we hear the younger son say to his father, “give me the share of your estate.” "Give me." Doesn’t that sound familiar? We live in a “give me” generation today. We only care about our SELF. Just look at what we call our cell phones. They are iPhones. Notice the “i.” Everything revolves around “I” or SELF. The young man in our Lord’s parable is consumed with SELF. There is nothing more worthless to live for than your SELF. It leads to wandering, waste, willfulness, wild living, and woe as we see in the life of the prodigal son.
The painting that we see is Jacob Jordaens’ The Prodigal Son. In this painting, Jordaens vividly portrays the dejected and miserable condition of the younger son living with the swine. The Jews regarded swine as unclean, and they were seen as an appropriate place for demons to reside once they had been cast out of humans. The pigs only care about themselves, and don’t care if they are filthy. The filthy swine epitomize what a selfish, sinful life looks like. The filthy pigs illustrate to the younger son the condition of his soul and his deplorable state in relation to his father.
Yet, there is hope even in this despondent and wretched place. We see streams of glorious golden light emerging from the heavens on the right. The glorious light in the heavens symbolize the grace of God, shining upon the sinner, calling him to turn away from the wretchedness of sin and to turn towards God and the light of His grace. In the Parable of the Prodigal Son our Lord emphasizes God the Father’s great love and mercy, but also on the necessary human response to experience His mercy, namely, our repentance, which is turning away from SELF and to God. On April 5, Bishop Wypych will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at our parish. Please pray for all our candidates from our school, Religious Education, and Henryk Sienkiewicz Polish School who will receive Confirmation this week. On April 9, we will have Lenten Confessions in English and Spanish at 7 pm. Polish confessions will be on April 13 at 7 pm. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good help us with her maternal care and may St. Joseph pray for us! Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!
